Tho lite arrivala trma ttimland bring tho intelligence that the mill istry havosummitted to Parliament a plan to reduce hM duties on all articles of foreign manufacture down to 20 per cent ad valorem the precise amount agreed upon in the " Compromise Act" of 1933:) While they are doing this, the Whig$ in Congress "a striving to raise our taxes up to tho iiritiuli standard provious to thU mve of tho min istry.

EXPENDITURES OP TUB GOVERNMENT. The expenditures of the Government during the last year of Mr. Van Iturcn's administration .mounted to a fraction more than 22 millions b! dollars. Mri Van Buren himself, and all bis friends in Congress were anxious to reduce them iiill more, ami, without doubt, if they had bnen ruitinifd in power, this would havo. been done. The Wuio leaders during the cnmpaigr. of -10, declaimed loudly ag mint lliese-expeiiditurea; they denounced them as i-xtravag int, and promised, if elected, that they would at once bring down the ei ponies of the Government to 14 or 15 millions per year. Well, they wero elected, and placed in power; the question now in, have they ful filled their promises f Have (hey brought the cirmnsea of the Government down to 14 or 10 millions pfr yeart We nniwor.no; tlwy have neither done it. nor attempted to do it ; but on (he contrary, during tho very first year pf their pow. cr, they have increased tho expenditure many million ; thus falsifying all their pledge. - Du ling tho campaign, they assured, the people that 11. or 15 million annually won enough to carry n (in Cnvernment. and that lliCV would rcauiro co nidre.

PROMISES eontrottd with PRACTICES, Tit people should keep in mind the promise of the Whig leaders in IB 10, and contra! them with their prrfomanct io 1911 '42. They then t'uld tho people that tho Democratic administration had brought the u bard times" on the country, and luey promised if Gen. Harrison should belectcd, thai great change would s ion take plaee, that property would incream in value, that prices would rise, money become plenty) aud general prosperity spread over; the land. Tha pcoplo placed confi dence in these promises, aud elected Gen. Harrison anJ put the Whigs in power ; the Question now is, have they verthed their promi: ( All know that they-ltaye not.-Mmey t scarcer, prices low er, distress ntorf general, limes harder now than when the Whigs came into power. The people then have boeu disappointed and decern d, and their deceivers can make no sal factory excuae Tor it. . One of two things is ceriaiu; at the time they made their promises they either believed what they promised, or they did- uot boti-vo it. Il they believed that they could do tvhailiey siiil, then the result proves that they were whuil ino rant of the real causes of tho disires.-ies ot th conn try, and like ignorant physicians were proscribing io tho dark and at a venturo ; but il tney od not believe, thai they could perforin their promises, then they scted the part ot li)pocnte,aud w.

But some of them attempt joexcuse themselves i . . ... . 1 m IIIVIUl III VAtllllllH&IIUII. .

I ho -vory idea is degrading to the j Government and tho American people. If Tyler had consented to perjure himself, it is very easy lo show that the new Bank, so fir from ! making time) better, would hive inenaseJ the ((nnernl distress. In tho first place, tho weahhy j men who may havo taken stock in this Bank, would have had to collect their imwv Moro they j ; could place il in the Bank. This operation would i have given rise lo thousands ol law suits, nni to: sherills' sales without number. In the next place, tho new Bank in order to maka way for itself would have pressed tho local Banks, and tins' would havo forced them to press their debtors in or- j der to sustain themselves. Who among tho p"o,'c owing any debts at all could have stood up under this double fire from the rich man on ono aide, and , the Banks on the other T distress and ruin would have swept over the Innd. Il Mr. Tyler llion, has received the curses of tho Wing leaders lor re fusing to perjure himself, ho oug I to receive the thanks and tho blessings of the people, for . bis honesty, and firmness in refusing to sign the l.iuil Bill. .

Some of the Feueral Whigs seem to consider it very inconsistent that any Democrat should take lha beiiefk of the Bankrupt Law, being opposed to the law itself.

In IB JO wbon tho Whig leaders wore csu vnssmg fur popular favor, ihey promised all sorts of rihcftn t.'ie people, and go id limes in abundance ; hut when placed in power, the only "relief" irx'Hstire they have passed is the Bankrupt Law; because tho Democrats aro opposed to this law, thry are almost forbidden to take Iho privilege of it, 'in I it is required to be left altogothor fur the ue and advantage of Whigjrory itself. But if i his rule be correct as to ihe Bankrupt Law, why not apply it t other acts ol the same pirlj to the new Tariff already established nnd about to bo further laid on the peoplo ?
